At Macksville Public School parents and guardians are actively involved in a wide range of school programs and activities. The Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C), and its subcommittees, is one way in which Macksville Public School staff, parents and guardians can get involved.
Macksville Public School’s P&C gives parents and guardians an opportunity to learn about the school and issues related to education and student welfare. It also provides a way in which parents and guardians to get involved in helping shape and develop the school environment.
One of the key outputs of the P&C is fundraising events, like the school Easter Hat Raffle, Mothers and Fathers Day Stalls and our annual Christmas Raffle to name a few. These events help create the community environment of Macksville Public School and also raises funds that provide extra resources for the students of the School to use. Funds raised through P&C fundraising activities are allocated by the P&C to meet various school needs, in consultation with the Principal and teachers.
Our 2022 P&C Committee comprises of:
President – Emma Goodwin
Vice-Presidents – Lyn Dundas and Samantha Steele
Secretary – Regan McGuiggan
Treasurer – Briony Inman
Uniforms – Wendy Hillery
P&C meetings
The best way to find out what is happening in the school is to come along to one of the monthly P&C meetings, please see the Schools Newsletter for our meeting dates. These meetings are a great opportunity for the school’s parents and carers to hear of activities in and around the school from the Principal, P&C President and the various P&C committee groups.
Get involved – P&C volunteers
The P&C is solely run by volunteers who donate their time and expertise. There are many ways parents and guardians can contribute either by volunteering on a Committee or helping out when volunteers are needed. Sometimes an hour is all that is needed to make a truly valuable contribution. The P&C operates the uniform shop and also our Canteen.

Any interested parents and community members can become a member of the P&C by coming to our meetings and paying a $2 annual membership fee. An executive committee is elected at the AGM in each year.
